According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, around 200,000 American military personnel transition to civilian life each year. American companies actively integrate them into their operations, developing specialized programs, including those that prepare veterans for leadership roles.
This approach is also common in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Sweden, and other countries. In these places, businesses actively employ veterans, particularly in leadership positions, where they showcase strong organizational skills, the ability to make decisions in complex situations, and adaptability to new conditions. Their professionalism, unique experience, and innovative approach significantly enhance the efficiency of management processes and contribute to the development of the corporate environment.
For Ukraine, this experience is extremely important. As Viesturs Liegis notes, the integration of veterans into the business environment, especially in leadership positions, provides numerous benefits to companies.
"The competencies and special skills of veterans, particularly their leadership qualities, quick response, strategic thinking, and ability to effectively delegate tasks, are key to successful organizational management. These skills give companies a competitive advantage and contribute to their stable development," emphasizes Viesturs Liegis, Managing Partner at Amrop Ukraine.
